According to the Greek mithology, the Elysium Fields was the final resting place for the souls of heroes and virtuous men.
The Elysian Fields lay on the western margin of the Earth, by the encircling stream of Oceanus (Odyssey), and there the mortal relatives of the king of the gods were transported, without tasting death, to enjoy an immortality of bliss (Odyssey book iv: 563).
The Avenue des Champs-Élysées, in Paris, is known as La plus belle avenue du monde.
